Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

In this section, you will find Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for various biobanking practices. Many of these SOPs are currently being used in BBRB led initiatives, such as but not limited to the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx) and Biospecimen Pre-analytical Variables (BPV) program. These SOPs are made available for public use and guidance. BBRB will continue to release SOPs as they become available.
